Delivery services across Canada are on a hiring spree. Canada Post and Purolator have a bunch of job openings in preparation for the peak delivery season. FedEx, meanwhile, is hiring staff to meet the greater rise in e-commerce brought on by the pandemic.
According to James Anderson, communications advisor at FedEx Canada, the company has already hired over 6,000 more workers since June 2020.
Now, Anderson says, FedEx is looking to hire an additional 1,162 workers across the country. All but 17 of these openings are ongoing.
In Montreal, FedEx anticipates hiring 72 more team members. But if you don't live in Montreal, don't fret.
Across the province, FedEx is looking to hire 222 people.
"FedEx Express Canada still has opportunities for full-time and part-time employment," Anderson said. "Positions available include drivers, couriers, and cargo handlers."
